Thực trạng quản lý hoạt động giáo dục môi trường cho trẻ ở các trường mầm non huyện Bình Chánh, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

Abstract

Today, environmental issues and pollution are receiving increasing public attention, especially among educators. As early childhood education places greater emphasis on fostering sustainable awareness and behavior in young children, the management of environmental education activities plays a crucial role in enhancing implementation quality in educational institutions. This study employs a survey combined with in-depth interviews to examine the current management of environmental education activities for children in preschools in Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. Data were collected from 120 participants, including 30 administrators and 90 teachers from both public and non-public preschools. Semi-structured interviews with 4 administrators and 6 teachers were conducted to further clarify underlying causes, challenges, and conditions affecting practical implementation. The findings indicate that current management practices are at a fairly good level while revealing several limitations in performing key management functions. These results provide practical evidence for administrators to propose improvement measures, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of environmental education in early childhood settings.
